So Long, Mr. Vishnevski

As reported here

the Anaheim Ducks traded away Vitaly Vishnevski to Atlanta for some big tough guy. Now, you must be saying, who is this guy. Well I will tell you, he was a pretty steady defensive defenseman over the last 6 years, helping the (former Mighty) Ducks twice go deep in the playoffs.
He was a good player, and it was fun watching. But I guess with the Chris Pronger movement, there wouldn't be any room. And for that, I'm ok with it.
